It was late in the afternoon. I was going to go walking earlier but I was intrigued with watching a Sid Roth interview. It was ok that I put off walking because I also did my exercise bike for part of the video then sat and watched the rest of the very insightful interview. I then felt in the atmosphere the winds of change like stirring of a storm coming in. Now, if I was back home in OH, I would have probably jumped in my car and went to the park by the lake to watch the storm come in. You know when a storm is brewing the wind picks up and the clouds get a bit darker. I just knew I had to go walk by the river. I drove there and had my umbrella with me in the event the rain started. It actually held off until I was back in my car.
I prayed in tongues while I walked and there was hardly anyone on the trails. I approach the bridge and I was literally walking over troubled water. It rained earlier today I think I may have slept through it if it rained during the night. I knew the river would be higher than usual because there are certain tale tell (is that how you say it) things to give you a hint at this. I approach the ramp to the bridge and I notice the water below is in a rushing current flow and did not see the huge amount of turtles I saw a few weeks ago. I walk across the bridge and as I am going down the ramp what do my wondering eyes see? The appearance of a section of newly laid cement. Hurrah, they repaired the bumpy part of the walking trail. I continued on walking and sure enough, the water was too high to hear the babbling brook. I turned around and heading back over the bridge I noticed only a few turtles here and there like they were getting a reprieve from the high water level. A few here, a few there trying to find space on a tree log that wasn't under water. As I am about to approach the down ramp the sun peaks out from the clouds and I hear the Lord say this to me "You did good work today you did very good work & the day is not done yet." The sun remained with me walking back even while the wind picked up. The rain held off until I was in my car. That is where I jotted down the words spoken to me.
Oh on the way to the park I noticed a man was walking and something fell out of his pocket and went on the ground. He kept walking and probably wasn't aware of it. I stopped my car and backed up a little bit and rolled down my window and let him know something fell from his pocket that was a green color. He then went back and traced his steps and I drove off to the park. It costs you nothing but a bit of your time to show kindness. I would sure hope someone would tell me if they saw something like that. Can you imagine getting home and realizing something was missing and then having to go back and re-trace your steps to try and find it. Or what if it was a bank card and someone else picked it up?
I finished my sun catcher project today and they are nicely refreshed and packed away. What is my next project? Remember when I shared the song, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" because I saw James Goll share about it with his daughter in a time of ministry? Who would have ever thought I would actually be walking on a bridge over troubled water today. God knew all along because He directs my steps.
